We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
In this paper, we present a new hybrid optical burst switch architecture (HOBS) that takes advantage of the pre-transmission idle time during lightpath establishment. In dynamic c...
—This paper presents an evaluation of the Quality of Service Signalling Layer Protocol (QoS-NSLP) of the NSIS (Next Steps In Signalling) protocol suite. The QoS-NSLP in combinati...
—Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically composed of very small, battery-operated devices (sensor nodes) containing simple microprocessors with few computational resources....
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
